Night time hunting
Okay so I work midnight shift and wondering if it's still possible to find Queens at night. I've been keeping an eye out when I take my breaks and lunch outside and know it's still early but just curious if I'll still have luck at night time.
Keeping:
Camponotus subbarbatus
Camponotus pennsylvanicus x2
Crematogaster ashmeadi
Crematogaster missouriensis
Formica pallidefulva x2
Formica subsericea x2
Lasius sp x2
Pheidole sp. x3
Tetramorium immigrans x2
Unknown sp.

Re: Night time hunting
It's possible, if you can't find any for a longer period you might wanna try with a black light torch, it is said to attract them
Re: Night time hunting
Queens will always be out, at any given time; especially at night, the early mornings or after a rainstorm.

Re: Night time hunting
I really appreciate the info. My 2 main I'm lookin for is a species of Camponotus and Solenopsis. Its been pretty warm the past week and some rain yesterday with a slight shower this morning so I'm hoping to get lucky sooner than later
